--compiler-traces loops infinitely if ccache wrappers are in path #26
Description
With, for instance:
$ l /usr/lib/ccache/bin/
lrwxrwxrwx - root root 1 week c++ -> /usr/bin/ccache*
lrwxrwxrwx - root root 1 week cc -> /usr/bin/ccache*
lrwxrwxrwx - root root 1 week clang -> /usr/bin/ccache*
lrwxrwxrwx - root root 1 week clang++ -> /usr/bin/ccache*
lrwxrwxrwx - root root 1 week g++ -> /usr/bin/ccache*
lrwxrwxrwx - root root 1 week gcc -> /usr/bin/ccache*
lrwxrwxrwx - root root 1 week x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-c++ -> /usr/bin/ccache*
lrwxrwxrwx - root root 1 week x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -> /usr/bin/ccache*
lrwxrwxrwx - root root 1 week x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -> /usr/bin/ccache*
$ echo $PATH
/usr/lib/ccache/bin:/usr/bin
(a normal way of using ccache)
an infinite loop of ccache -> /tmp/buildprof-compilers*/bin/clang -> ccache occurs.

Ouch that's an ugly bug - thanks for the report! Will investigate.
compiler: keep the wrappers out of the compiler's own PATH (#36)

I'll put out 0.2.7 shortly!
